Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Radius Recycled Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, water-resistant outer layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing protection from light rain and wind while maintaining breathability, thanks to its DWR finish and bonded fleece fabric. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof, so it may not be suitable for heavy downpours. This jacket features a grown-on hood with a drawstring, a full zip fastening, and multiple zip pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-resistant due to its DWR finish, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made from?

The outer material is 94% Recycled Polyester and 6% Elastane, and the lining is 100% Recycled Polyester. The fabric used is a Bonded Fleece.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the provided size chart which lists chest measurements in inches for various sizes (XXS to 4XL).

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, it can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener and tumble dry on low heat.

What does 'DWR Finish' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics to make them repel water, causing water to bead up and roll off the surface.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides warmth due to its bonded fleece lining and is suitable for cool to moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer over thermal base layers and under a heavier insulated jacket.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

You can use a wash-in or spray-on re-waterproofer specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Always follow the instructions on the re-waterproofing product.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following the product instructions.

Jacket feels too warm.

Consider wearing lighter layers underneath or opening the full zip for ventilation. This jacket is designed for moderate to cool conditions.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zip. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth.

Pockets do not feel secure.

Ensure the zip on each pocket is fully closed and secured.
